Rin was finding next to impossible to concentrate on the task at hand and he walked along side Shiemi through the park, staying just two steps behind her.

How was he supposed to keep an eye out for a ghost when the girl of his dreams was standing right in front of him, her short pink shirt bouncing with every step she took, each time just barely not revealing the color of the unmentionables underneath. Her hair shifting in the wind, so that he could still see the cute smile she showed the world as she looked around in amazement at her surroundings. And her chest... well he wasn't about to go there.

"Rin... are you with me?" Shiemi asked jogging the love struck half demon out of his trance.

"Huh? Oh, yeah." Rin said blushing as he tried and failed to look away from her.

"Okay then, can you look on the right side, while I search the left?" Shiemi asked.

"Sure thing." Rin said grinning and looking the right. But his eyes kept wondering back to the girl. 'The two of us... together... at an amusement park...' Rin couldn't help but think, remembering what Danny had said about dates. 'This is kind of like a date.' He thought slowing down so that the distance between them got bigger and he could have a better look. 'She really does look good in that uniform.

As they existed the alley and up to one of the roller coaster, Shiemi let out a 'wow' as she looked up at it. Her expressing even more childish than usual. Noticing Rin staring she flushed, misunderstanding his look. "The trust is... I've always wanted to go to an amusement park, ever since I was a little girl." Shiemi admitted weakly. "But back then I couldn't handle being around lots of people, so places like this were out of the question." She took a look around longingly. "Everything must be so lively and fun when its open."

Rin kicked his heels a bit as he started to work of the courage to ask her the great question. "Then... why don't we come and hang out here together... when its open." Rin said, trying to fight down his blush as he asked the girl out.

"Yeah." Shiemi said with a wide smile. Not understanding that Rin wanted to go as more than just friends.

But Rin didn't care, he grinned like an idiot. "Are... are you sure!?" He asked, just incase he misheard.

"Yep! Let's go for sure!" Shiemi said with a nod.

"Alright then! Where should we look next!?" Rin asked as he pulled out the map, feeling the warmth of the blond girl as she moved in close to look at the map with him. He was in heaven standing there with her under the sign for the roller-coaster, which read 'go to hell'.

Danny was trying his best to go to sleep. But the location was making it impossible for him. Damn Mephisto. Surely the Demon King knew what amusement parks meant to the ghost boy. The memories they would bring up.

After all, it was a place just like this one were he had fallen in love. And it was that love that he turned him so sour to exorcists.

Valerie Grey. A ghost hunter, an obsessed exorcist who had blamed Danny's ghost half for everything bad that had ever happened to her after an out of control Cujo rampaged through her father's work in the time before Danny was Cujo's master, an incident that cost her father his job.

Valerie Grey. A young hot headed African American girl, a woman who won Danny's heart back when he had been a part-time ghost fighter in the states. Their first date had been at the amusement park. Everything had gone so well. But everything ended up so horrible.

Danny had believed that she would understand. He had been so sure that she was the one. He had never imagined the consequences for revealing his ghostly half to her. But the moment he had shown his tail, she had turned on his. She had tried everything to kill him, and in a accident, she triggered a building to fall down on her head. She had died before Danny could reach her. And in death he could feel the fear of him rolling off of her in waves. Down to the core of her soul, she wanted him destroyed.

Danny would never trust an exorcist again. They may claim to be soldiers for peace, but they were just heartless monsters who would hunt down any demon they come across. He had to learn that the hard way.

But Rin wanted to become an exorcist. Despite his demon blood, or maybe even because of it, Rin wished to become one of the soldiers who hunted his kind. A member of an organization that would certainly turn on him in the years to come. One that would condemn him to death for simply being born.

But Danny had quickly learned a few things about Rin Okumura. Mostly that he was as thick headed and nieve as they come. He had to learn everything through personal experience. In that regard, he was a lot like Danny.

The others would abandon Rin. Danny was not merely guessing at that. It was the simple truth in his eyes. They would see his power, and they would be afraid of him. And as exorcists, they would wish the destruction of what every they are afraid of.

Danny would do whatever it took to stop that from ever happening. He didn't want for Rin to have to look into Shiemi's eyes, only to see fear and hatred. He would make sure that Rin never had to experience that himself. Even if it cost him his own secrets.

Though Danny was an optimist, which was the reason for this particular mission. To see what the students would do when confronted with a ghost.

Ghost could be handled one of two ways. The first and most obvious, it to destroy their vessel, causing the demon that created it to be sent back to Gehenna. The other was to help the ghost complete its unfinished business so that it could 'pass on'.

To most exorcists, the difference between the two is that it is simply more time consuming to help the ghost pass on, so they just destroy it. Both had the end result that was the same. But in Danny's eyes the choose was the same as the difference between killing someone and letting them pass away peacefully in bed.

It was going to be Danny's test for the would be exorcists. Would they help the simple child, or destroy it?

Rin had been walking around the park for a little while with Shiemi with not the slightest sighting of anything out of the ordinary. Not that he was complaining. The longer it took, the longer he got to hang out alone with Shiemi.

But as he passed the '4D theater' he started to 'hear' someone crying, or something. "That voice." Rin murmured as he walked towards the direction he felt the crying coming from.

"Hm? Rin, where are you going?" Shiemi asked as she chased after the boy.

"Its this way. Come on." Rin said as he walked underneath an arch and stopped in front of a merry-go-round. Thats were he saw it. The ghost of a little boy sitting on one of the horses, crying to itself.

"Wow, Rin! How'd you know it was here?" Shiemi asked as she stopped right next to the older Okumura boy.

"Uh... I've got a gift? It's not important." Rin said trying not to reveal anything about him. He felt a small sting of guilt. He didn't like lying, but he was being forced to do it more and more in order to hide his identity as the spawn of Satan. But he pushed the feeling down. After all, it wasn't really a lie, was it?

He did have a gift for hearing demons. Danny said something about having inherited Satan's flames giving him qualities of all the different types of demons. But Rin didn't really understand it.

"What's wrong...? Why are you crying?" Shiemi asked the ghost child as he looked over at them with big teary eyes.

"Hey, you shouldn't talk to demons." Rin hissed to the girl.

"Oh... yeah but... he's just a little boy." Shiemi said sadly. She couldn't help but think how tragic it was so the boy to die so young.

But Rin's thoughts were elsewhere. He was thinking about the 'war stories' that Danny had told him a bit about. Even the ghost of a child could become extremely dangerous.

He gave the boy a once over look. He seemed to only be around six or seven years old wearing pajamas, with blond hair. His hands hadn't developed fingers and his legs were replaced by the spectral tail that many spirit class demons had. Rin remembered Danny explaining that ghosts' tails were not as big of a weakness as the tails of other demons since they were formed from mist and it was the ghost that controlled wither or not it could be touched, leaving them with one less weakness than your average demon in a brawl.

In fact, ghosts in general were immune to physical attacks unless caught off guard. Sure with his flames, Rin would be able to handle one no problem, but he didn't have his flames, at least not will he was so out in the open. Spells and curtain demon weapons and blessed iron, as well as strong miasma's could have a physical impact on a ghost, but none of that did Rin any good.

Rin was trying to figure out what to do, but all the crying was getting on his nerves. He had always hated crying. Yukio had done it a lot when they were kids, and it made Rin feel powerless. "Would you shut up with all that blabering already!?" Rin shouted angry, but that only made it worse.

"Rin!? You don't have to yell at him like that!" Shiemi scolded the demon boy.

"Oh... I'm sorry." Rin said rubbing the back of his had. He was no good with kids while they were crying. Actually he wasn't all that great with people in general while they were crying or having emotional problems. Why couldn't everything just be solved by punching it?

Rin was brought out of his misgivings when the ghost flew straight up to Shiemi and buried it head in his chest. "I was sick for a really long time. My mummy and daddy promised me... that if I gots better, that I could come to this amusement park and play... but I died... and now... and now... I can't play with anyone anymore!"

The ghost continued to cry. Rin and Shiemi both looked down at the ghost with pity in their eyes. "I see... you must've been lonely, huh?" Shiemi said patting the boy's head.

'Ghosts had all the emotions and feelings of the people they were born from. So didn't they also deserve to be treated the same?' Rin thought as he watched the boy.

Though that thought didn't last long as a mischievous smile spread over the ghost's face. "Shut up, Hag!" The ghost shouted as it grabbed Shiemi's breasts, causing the girl to blush bright red. "Idiots!.." The child shouted as it flew away laughing.

Rin's jaw was slack for a few seconds until what had just happened registered with him. "What the hell!" He roared as he went sprinting full speed after the ghost. "You brat! Get back here!" 'I wanted to touch them!' Was what the half demon was shouting inside of his own head.

The two exorcists in training gave chase, but the demon was slippery and they lost sight of him. "Where did that perverted brat go!" Rin shouted as he looked in every direction after he and Shiemi stopped underneath one of the statues of Mephisto.

"I'll go look over there." Shiemi said pointing towards the house of mirrors.

"Alright, but be careful." Rin said remembering that he was supposed to call Yukio and Danny after finding the ghost. He pulled out his phone and started to dial the number. It rang twice as Rin stood there tapping his foot impatiently, but before the call was answered he felt his sword being pulled off his back.

"What the!?" Rin shouted as he whipped around to see a boy who looked like he was about seventeen standing on top of the statue of Mephisto holding Rin's Demon Sword. "Hey, who the hell are you! And give that back!"

'Never let it leave your side.' Those had been some of his old man's last words to Rin. And they echoed inside of the boy's head, fueling his desire to reclaim his sword.

"Me? Oh yes. I'm Amaimon." The boy said as he moved a lollipop around in his mouth. He had black hair with a greenish tint that had a solitary spike in the middle of the top of his head. He was wearing oddly colored though semi formal shirt, vest and tie with a black trench coat filled with holes over it and looked down at Rin with a half way vacant expression as he talked, seeming to try to figure out if he should be interested or not. "I'm a Prince of Demons. I'm something similar to your older brother. Nice to meet you."

"Wha..." Rin's mind was going into shock as he watched the demon take the cloth cover off of the Koumaken, the fallen demon sword, and grabbed a hold of its handle and sheath.

"Hm... so this is the Koumaken. I wonder if ya know what kinda device this is." Amaimon said, not even looking at Rin himself.

"Stop it!" Rin shouted, but it was too late, the demon drew the sword and his flames bust from his body, his ears extending and fire forming into horns even as his tail broke free from his pants. Rin's fire was on display for all to see.

Danny was a bit confused. He looked down at his phone seeing that he had one missed call from Rin. "Wonder why he hung up." Danny mumbled but then he felt not one, but two massive demons within the park, and one of them was the unsealed Rin Okumura. Danny jumped from his seat and ran full speed into the park.

"Where are you going!?" Yukio shouted but Danny was in to much of a hurry to hear him. He had to put a stop to everything, before Rin was discovered.

Sorry for everyone that wanted to vote over what Demon King Danny would have to fight, but someone had just too good of a suggestion to pass up. So its already be decided.
